Learning to Love My Oak Cabinets

August 3, 2018 began like any other day. I woke up after a certain Englishman (as usual) went downstairs barefoot (as usual) and walked through the kitchen to say hello to my husband working in the adjoining office (as usual). And that's when things didn't go as usual. My bare feet noticed that the hardwood floor didn't feel right. Bumpy in fact. Our floor had flooded and the oak planks had warped. Here is what I thought in order: Huh? Oh no! Yipee! First I was shocked to discover that my kitchen floor was ruined. Then I was upset to realize my kitchen was about to get demolished.

Three crosses to be exact. Source And no, that sunset is not photoshopped. Our sunsets really are that beautiful. Again, so sorry you didn't get to grow up there. When we think about Jesus dying on the cross, often we see the image of just Him. It's easy to forget there were two others also crucified. Many religions refer to these men as thieves. They are not named in the Bible, but the Book of Nicodemus written 400 years later, names them Gestas and Dismas. For the sake of this article, I'll use these two names. While hanging on the cross, Gestas railed on Christ--meaning he reproached him. "If thou be Christ, save thyself and us." (See Luke 23:39) Dismas defends Christ. He said that Christ has done nothing wrong, but that
